This year after the winner was confirmed there was a small celebration in the Clubhouse with everyone present sharing some hot nibbles and cold glasses of Bubbles to toast Eslyne Hunter the 2015 Ann Costin Cup Champion who was thrilled with her win.

Our thanks go to Therese Tathem for managing the Gold 3 Team.

Congratulations to Lena Merzliakov for taking on the role of Team Captain for the first time.

8 COLLECTION OF WTA Vouchers: The procedure for collecting WTA Vouchers has changed. If the recipient of a WTA Voucher is not available to collect her prize on the day, the Voucher will be immediately taken to the Pro Shop and recorded onto John Downs' card system. This means that if you are not able to stay for WTA Voucher presentations on the day then your Voucher credit will be waiting for you to spend in the Pro Shop at any time convenient to you. The Committee will also maintain a record of Vouchers taken to the Pro Shop. The following Vouchers not collected have been taken to Pro Shop. Jenene Spencer 14 Feb $16 Courtney Nash 25 April $17 Lorraine McHugh 6 Jun $15 Tracey Noble 13 Jun $19 Margaret Anderson 20 Jun $25 Karen Stewart-Smith 20 Jun $15 Pip McFarland 23 Jun $26 Margaret Pitts 27 Jun $19 Maureen Edwards 27 Jun $19 TEE TIMES FOR SAT 11 th JULY: The bookings timesheet for 11th July is now available online and it has been necessary to consider the ladies' tee times and how the split field would affect the social aspect of an Open/Invitation Charity Golf Day. The Match Committee in consultation with the Board has sought to alter the Saturday Tee times for this particular occasion. For Saturday 11th July, the Tee times for ladies will allow for 80 ladies to play as one field starting from 7.24am with the last Tee time for ladies at 9.37am. There will be three tee times for 12 members from 7.03am. The single block of tee times from 7.03 until 9.37 will allow time for the first group to arrive at the 13th Tee block just after the ladies have finished teeing off. The last group of ladies should clear the 13th Tee by approximately 12.20pm thus allowing social players access to the South Course for the afternoon. It is hoped the benefits of this arrangement will be appreciated by Saturday ladies and their guests. Please be aware that the Charity 4BBB Golf Day is also an "Open Day and has been well advertised on the B & D website for some time and is also being promoted through the Cherish Foundation Newsletter. Be sure to book times for yourself and your guest and don't forget to make use of the Waiting List available on the NGC Booking website. Elizabeth Moran (Ladies Captain) would be interested in your feedback regarding the altered Saturday times for ladies. Please direct any comments to golf@nudgeegolf.com.au or emmoran@bigpond.com Thank you for your support of our Charity Days. Enjoy your golf!

10 NEW LADY MEMBERS: On behalf of the Ladies Committee and lady members, we wish to extend a very warm welcome to two new ladies this month. Sharyn Murray and Noelene Kelly have joined our friendly club and we hope they enjoy playing in the many and varied daily competitions available to them. FROM LADIES CAPTAIN - COMING UP IN JULY There are two Honour Board events to be played in July - The Club Match Play Championships and the Club Foursomes Championships. The Match Play Championship occurs as a mid-week event this year and the Foursomes Championship is a Saturday event. The first, the Club Match Play Championship has its beginnings next Tuesday, 7th July as a qualifying round in the Monthly Medal/Single Stroke competition. Qualifying players must be full financial members, i.e., 7 Day or Senior Lady Members. Five-Day members cannot qualify for the Match Play Championship but are eligible for the Monthly Medal / Single Stroke competition on the day. Please be sure to mark your scorecard with a Q to signal your intention to compete in the Club Match Play Championship. This event will be played in 3 Divisions requiring a minimum of four players in each Division and a maximum of eight players. Insufficient qualifying numbers in a Division means that Division s competition will not proceed, so I strongly encourage everyone to participate. The Match Play Championship quarter finals on 14th July will require those who have qualified to be available to Tee off from 7.24am. The semi-final tee times on 21st July will commence at 7.36am. Division 1 finalists playing 36 holes in the final round on 28th July will tee off from 7.30am and Division 2 and 3 finalists will tee off at 8.00 and 8.06 to play 18 holes. The second, the Club Foursomes Championship is a 36 Hole Event and consists of two rounds played on the Saturdays, 18th July and 25th July. The major trophy, a silver cup donated by Glad Tuesley and Dot McGuire, is awarded to the Gross winners over 36 holes. Ladies who hit off the oddnumbered tees in Round 1 must hit off the even-numbered tees in Round 2. In order to manage the possibility of a tie and play-off, the best 8 Foursome pairs will be seeded at the beginning of the afternoon field on 25th July from 10.19am. If a player is unavailable to play at the appointed time or is unavailable for a play-off, the competition is forfeited. The conditions of play will be amended to reflect this requirement. If you know someone who does not have and internet facilities please pass on the above information. In future enewsletters will be posted on the noticeboard in the ladies locker room. Enjoy your golf!
